slasher Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 At the last two home games I've been asked by a steward to see inside my sporran. Not an issue as I wasn't carrying anything I shouldn't have been. I'm just wondering if they have the right to do this and whether they can deny me entry should I refuse. Anyone up on the terms and conditions or legal aspect of this? I'm just wondering as I can't recall this happening before but it seems to be standard practice at the turnstiles now?

kwhitelaw Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It's not really any different to asking to see inside a woman's hand bag or requesting a pat down to check you've nothing dodgy in your pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I get that but I wouldn't have thought stewards have that power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonC Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I suspect you could say no to a steward but all they would likely do is stop you getting in right away and getting a police officer over to search you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDange Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'm sure it's captured in the T&Cs somewhere. I think the main rule is that a male steward cannot search a female and vice versa without express permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrniaboc Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I wear a decoy sporran at the front, while round the back I've got another chalk full of buckie. You're welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they have the right to ask you to show them what’s in your sporran. You also have the right to say no. The stewards also have the right to refuse you entry if you say no.
